Chipping 2.0 TDi

[TonyC]

Just got back from a weeks holiday - took the Altea & much as I enjoy driving it, it could do with a bit more oomph.

I'm considering getting it chipped, but the car is pretty smokey when you boot it & I'm worried that will get worse.

My other car has been chipped & the improvement in performance has been phenomenal. The mpg has also improved slightly It's fitted with a particulate filter, so there is no smoke at all.

I notice all VAG cars with the 170bhp version of the 2.0 TDi have particulate filters as standard - so I'm guessing they'd be pretty smokey without

Has anyone done it & please could they comment on the smokiness !

BTW Tell & Magnus - still not ordered those speakers yet

Best get in the TDI tuning forum and ask. Mines due for a chip but still has running issues I need sorting first. Have a look in the Golf mk5 section over on uk-mkivs.net/forums, lots of people have it done on there.
